It will work

If you forget all the reasons why it won’t

Whew, I’m in a swirl of a challenge right now. A reminder that if you let what could go wrong rule your life then you probably won’t have much of one. I don’t typically live in that space, or at least I didn’t at all until I got divorced. I’m seeing where my body is still holding onto some of that season of my life but I tell you what, am I ready to let all of that effing go. I’m still surprised sometimes when things come up for me around that season, both the divorced one and the married one. And, how many times will I be confronted with this until I’m not?

I guess as many times as I let it all hang around.

I’m working on it. I’d really like to release the survival Dana that I needed then. We’re stepping into something new here! Wanting to anyway and some days I feel yanked right back to her.

The important part here to remember is, just because that might happen does not mean all is lost.

“It will work, if you forget all the reasons why it won’t.” - Paulo Coelho

It’s all working out and if my energy is continually spent on that being the truth then it just will. I feel a little nervous about how it’ll all work out or if it actually will. And I want you to see right there in that one sentence - all the attachment.

Is there something or in some area of your life where you’re doing the same thing? Attaching your effort to an expectation that whatever it is should look, feel, and be a certain way or if it’s not exactly that then… insert any form of disaster here.

Let it go.

Let it all go.

Trust yourself.

Take the next step.

That’s often only the requirement, to take the next step. Not to get to the mountain top one trek in on the trail.

So what if all of it is perfect? What if you walked around in your body today, let’s stick to today or maybe even the next 5 minutes, with the belief that you’re right where you need to be, that you’re right on time, and that it all actually does, work out?

It will work if you forget all the reasons it won’t because you move different when you believe that. You make different choices and decisions, you free up your creativity to see something new or to make something new. You allow your nervous system to relax and your awareness to widen.

It gets better.

It gets to be better.

For me, I’m checking all of this against my deserving, worthiness, and enough-stuff that comes up. As in, I don’t deserve this to flow and be easy, I’m not worthy of joy because I’ve hurt people in my life, and I can never do enough to make it all work.
